Jonathan Rhys Meyers is having a really bad week

And not just because of his latest movie, the nauseatingly sappy affair August Rush either!
After a year in which the Tudors star was rehabbed and then repeatedly fell off the wagon, he was arrested at a Dublin airport on Sunday after “verbally abusing” a female staff member when he was barred from getting on a plane to London because he was declared unfit to travel (read: probably drunk).
Shame, poor guy. We completely understand his anger at not being able to travel. We mean, even snakes were able to get on a plane last summer!
As if that isn’t enough… now news has broken that the actor’s mother has just passed away. Geraldine “Geri” Meyers-O’Keeffe, aged 50, died at the Mercy University Hospital in Cork after a short, undisclosed illness.

The 30-year old actor was apparently very close to his mom.
